I imagine they are still making their way up from the South American jungles.

Amazing that those little d00ds can fly that far. Gotta be one of the longest migrations (per pound) in all birddom

Oh. I was only joking. Huh :D

Oh. I was only joking. Huh :D

it's a fact, them little farkers spend the winter in flippin' South America.

this is from some St Louis-area hummingbird lovers site:

Most researchers accept they make a remarkable non-stop crossing of the Gulf of Mexico, taking 18-20 hours. They arrive on the US Gulf coast in late February or early March, and follow the development of spring flowers northward, reaching my home in St. Louis on April 20 +/- 2 days. Males migrate earlier than females, in both directions; some adult males start south as early as JUly. Our female breeding birds leave here (St. Louis) in September, with the young of the year following; the last juveniles depart abruptly at first frost (mid-October). By mid-November the fall migration is essentially completed throughout North America.

I'm sure you know this but you're not supposed to put red food coloring in the water. It's not good for them.

[sanantoniosooner]

They prefer jalepeno extract.
